Nice interview. I can just imagine a local JW trying to street witness to HRH! Imagine the kudos of a bible study with him! Meanwhile, back on planet earth..........

I do hope he turns out not to be a dim-witted shagger like virtually the whole of the rest of the men in his family.

Have you had odd approaches in the street?

I've had the odd one or two. If you're implying that I've been proposed to in the street, then yes I have. And people sort of come up to me, Jehovah's witnesses, I've had very devout Christians come up saying 'there's more to the word of God'.

The JWs have no chance! They sold Beth Sarim - 'House of the Princes'. Being a prince, where's he supposed to live?

I could just imagine if he had taken the mags, that in a few months there would be a experiences at the assembly about how the good news is even reaching the royals !!

I didn't mind being proposed to but that one really caught me out. I was a little bit stumped as to what to say on that one.

The proposal presumably was from a young kid.

Yes it was. I don't know old she was, 14, 15? It was very sweet of her to ask me but I had to decline, sadly.

Funny.

A good bit of that interview was played on one of the news channels here just last night. CNN, I think. (They left out the part about the Dubs.)

He appears to be a very fine young man. Very down to earth... considering. The Princess would be very proud of how her boys are turning out. Good for them.

Can you imagine if he became a baptised dubbie and ascended to the throne?
JW would be the state religion. It would be the United "Jehovah's" Kindom. Brooklyn would be moved to Slough (you seen The Office?). It would end up the Christian version of Iran, a secret police force made up of elders, who monitor meeting attendance and field service reporting and play nice cop bad cop on shepherding calls.
Geez, you could really have fun with this scenerio :)

No... you couldn't. It would be a disaster of epic proportions.

In one of the interviews, he speaks of joining the Army. I hope he does so he can earn his rep, not just be born with it. He seems intelligent enough...maybe that'd be a great way to really earn some respect besides what is bestowed on him at birth.

Nah, I think it would be more like Hitler's regime... Been watching World at War, BBC's 1970's epic history of WWII, and we're now working on the extra features on the DVD set. Awesome production!

With the exception of concentration camps and murder, the totalitarian government with secret police, Nazi neighborhood leaders, book burnings, extreme edited music selections to where Wagner was about the only music played or performed, 24 hour per day propaganda, state-run newspapers, etc., so very JW.

But then, what would a JW State Religion do with all of those disfellowshipped? Ship them off to... Canada? Maybe Nunavat? Or force them into the military because no JW would be required to serve.... Scary.

I mentioned this to my spousal unit, Kevan, and he just stared at me mildly astonished.

Peace.

PS = on the Prince Wm thing - I can just hear dubs saying "well, he's had the chance, he's condemned now".

kaykay_mp

did anyone see that ABC Primetime special about his tour of Africa? I have a whole new respect for him now.

as for the JW approach...if he joined, he'd be "royally" screwed...heh heh... i made a funny.
